SeriesFBCN
Normalized horizontal centrifugal pumps for industrial applications with clean or turbid liquids. Mechanically compliant with ASME B73.1.
Discover the FBCN Series: Standardized Centrifugal Pump
High-performance Industrial Water Pump per ASME B73.1
The FBCN Series is FB Bombas' normalized horizontal centrifugal pump line, designed for industrial applications with clean or turbid liquids. With mechanical construction per ASME B73.1, the FBCN offers broad interchangeability with pumps from other manufacturers. The Back Pull-Out design allows complete removal of the rotating assembly without disconnecting piping — drastically reducing field maintenance time.
ASME B73.1 (mechanical) — normalized horizontal construction and interchangeability
Back Pull-Out design: maintenance without disconnecting piping
43+ size combinations — DN25 to DN300, up to 2,200 m³/h and 135 m
Up to 260°C — cast iron, carbon steel or stainless steel
Motor-Pump Set
Fire Version
The FBCN Series is FB Bombas' normalized horizontal centrifugal pump line per ASME B73.1 (mechanical) — 43 standard models covering flow rates up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m, temperatures up to 260°C and rotation up to 3,500 rpm. Back pull-out construction allows removal of the rotating assembly without disconnecting piping, dramatically reducing maintenance time. Available materials: cast iron, A216 WCB carbon steel and A743 CF8M stainless steel. Applications: chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, steelmaking, mining, food, textile, pharmaceutical and water treatment (WTP/WWTP).
